High Fructose Corn Syrup Free Strawberry Lime Agua Fresca

Bright, juicy, and impossibly refreshing, this strawberry lime agua fresca is the kind of drink that makes you feel like you're sitting somewhere warm and sunny even on an ordinary afternoon. Fresh strawberries do all the heavy lifting here, delivering natural sweetness that gets a zingy lift from real lime juice. The sweetener of choice is maple syrup, which means you get just the right touch of sweetness without any of the corn-derived syrups that sneak into so many store-bought beverages and drink mixes. That swap matters more than you might think — bottled agua fresca and fruit drinks are some of the most common offenders when it comes to hidden sweeteners. Blending everything together and straining it through a fine-mesh sieve gives you a silky, beautifully colored drink that looks like it came from a taqueria but took almost no effort at all. A pinch of salt rounds out the flavors in a subtle way that makes the strawberry taste even more like itself. Serve it over a big glass of ice with a lime slice on the rim and it's genuinely hard to believe something this good has such a clean, simple ingredient list.
